Sal316 166 Posted February 10, 2016 It will probably make it run even slower in order to force those who didn't upgrade to 4 the last time to either do so now or abandon the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busterbay 326 Posted February 10, 2016 It will probably make it run even slower in order to force those who didn't upgrade to 4 the last time to either do so now or abandon the program. I have been running 3.078 for months with the exception of 3.052 all the upgrades have been for the good. I suspect 3.079B will have even more improvements. I'm not sure why people knock SCALP it's made me several $$'s I find it easy to work with, but all have their own preferences. Just keep all the past updates so you can reverse them if necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 10, 2016 I was just thinking about all those updates and had to wonder why? My Corel doesn't require updates to work as designed nor does my flexi starter, LXI, VInyl Master or for that matter the old trusted Sign Blazer which keeps plugging along no matter how many times microsoft releases a new OS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted February 10, 2016 It's the new way to do software. Why design and test something when you can just release it to the public and let them test it and tell you what would make it better. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearlyRich 167 Posted February 11, 2016 I wouldn't mind doing the testing, but paying for it!? And then releasing a new version that we also have to pay for to get bugs fixed? No thanks!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, like AI 3, 4, 5, 6, CC, etc; and Corel X5, X7, X7, etc..... Let's see... Version 3 goes through a dozen updates. Never fix the bugs, makes other things not work, fixes some bugs, never really works right. Then they release version 4 and expect us to pay for the upgrade! I stand by my statement! Who cares about additions if they don't fix it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 12, 2016 I paid for a working v.3 and even with all the updates i don't consider it a working program. That is the difference between scalp and every other program I own because they worked right out of the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 12, 2016 I bought the prerelease $50 copy and got 1 with a cutter and through all the updates before I gave up when I hit enter it never went to the next line when doing text. To me that is a non functional program. I purchased vinyl master way before uscutter started offering it and it does everything scalp promised and more so that is where I have stayed but I will say that if you do encounter a problem it has been my experience that craftedge has a faster response time than future corp (vinyl master) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted February 12, 2016 I have no experience with SCALP but, the basic VinylMaster software that US Cutter offers now is a decent design/cut program. http://www.uscutter.com/VinylMasterCut-Software-Value Sue2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 12, 2016 I'm using the top level xpt and it has replaced corel for 99.99% of what I do. The other .01% is just because I haven't learned how to do a couple things in vinyl master although I'm sure it can do them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The VinylMaster program feels and works very similar to CorelDraw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinylRevamp 93 Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks for all the replies. I'm still fairly new (1yr) and I really haven't had a problem with scalp. I also use inkscape. @Eazy - it doesn't work for me either. Was never able to press enter to go to the next line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
